pushrod question after 30thousand mill..anyone chime in..
Guys milling my 799 heads on my truck. Its a 5.3 and trying to get as much possible out of her.. trying to raise my compression to 10.5+.. its a l33 engine so its got flat top pistoms comes with 9.9 stock.. anyways i need pushrods but since all the work will b at my cousins shop (two hours away from my house )next weekend it will b impossible to use the pushrod checker and order some.. so is there a formula i can use to determine what size i will need? Truck has stock pushrods im assuming 7.4.. anyone?? All help will b appreciated!!!
